System::Windows::Forms; // won't compile

[PeteOlcott]

Error 1 error C3083: 'Window': the symbol to the left of a '::' must
be a type
Error 2 error C2039: 'Forms' : is not a member of 'System'
Error 3 error C2871: 'Forms' : a namespace with this name does not
exist
There are other "using namespace" declarations immediately above this
one that do compile.

It needs to be "Windows", with an 's' on the end. Also you must add the
appropriate reference in your project options.
